1914-PC-Carols-Program.Pdf 2017–2018 Season Inspiration... out loud Gold Season Sponsor Artistic Director Robert Istad Phillip N. and Mary A. Lyons Concert Sponsor Patricia O’Donnell In loving memory of John D. O’Donnell CAROLS BY CANDLELIGHT Saturday, December 2, 2017 at 8:00 p.m. Our Lady Queen of Angels Catholic Church, Newport Beach Members of Pacific Chorale Brian Noel, harp Jung-A Lee, organ David Clemensen, piano Robert Istad, conducting The word “carol” was used in the Middle Ages for a song with a repeated refrain that accompanied a round dance for festive occasions. Medieval carols were not necessarily liturgical, though they did often have religious texts, and they could be associated with other times of year besides Christmas. Over the years, the definition of a carol has both narrowed and expanded dramatically. The word is now used almost exclusively to refer to songs about the Advent and Christmas seasons—but those songs now encompass not only surviving examples of the medieval dance form, but French noëls, English wassails, Latin motets, folk songs from around the world, and an entire host of music in other forms and styles written through the ages in celebration of the Christmas story. Christmas falls close to the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, when the days are short and cold, the nights long and dark. Light becomes a precious symbol of hope at this time of year, whether it presents itself as a miraculous star appearing in the skies over Bethlehem or as a simple candle flame. It reminds us that darkness will not prevail forever: Every night ends, and every winter gives way to spring. Community Partners: It is in this spirit of celebration and hope that we invite you to join us for this evening of Carols by Candlelight. We encourage you to join us in singing three beloved traditional carols during the course of this evening’s performance. The music for each carol is provided in your program book.

  • Dayton Opera Artistic Director Thomas Bankston to Retire at the Conclusion of His 25Th Season with Dayton Opera in June 2021
    Dayton Opera Artistic Director Thomas Bankston to Retire at the Conclusion of His 25th Season with Dayton Opera in June 2021 CONTACT: ANGELA WHITEHEAD Communications & Media Manager Dayton Performing Arts Alliance Phone 937-224-3521 x 1138 [email protected] DAYTON, OH (February 7, 2020) – The Dayton Performing Arts Alliance (DPAA) has announced today that Thomas Bankston, Artistic Director of Dayton Opera, will retire in June 2021, at the conclusion of the newly announced 2020–2021 Celebrate Season, Dayton Opera’s 60th anniversary season. “The coming together of three especially celebratory events in the 2020-21 season – Dayton Opera’s 60th anniversary, my 25th season, and the closing of that season with a world premiere opera production, Finding Wright – seemed like a fitting time at which to bring to a close my 41 year career in the professional opera business. Dayton Opera has been a huge part of my life and will always hold a special place in my heart. Especially all the wonderful friendships and associations I have made with artists, staff and volunteers that will make my retirement a truly bittersweet one,” said Tom Bankston. The 2020–2021 season will mark Bankston’s 25th season providing artistic leadership for Dayton Opera, the longest term of artistic leadership in the company’s history. In 1996, he began his work with the company, sharing his wide-ranging knowledge of the field of opera between Dayton Opera and Cincinnati Opera, the company where in 1982 he began his work as an opera administrator. At the start of the 2001–2002 season, he left Cincinnati Opera and assumed the position of Artistic Director for Dayton Opera on a full-time basis, and then was named General & Artistic Director of Dayton Opera in 2004.

  • Bellini's Norma
    Bellini’s Norma - A discographical survey by Ralph Moore There are around 130 recordings of Norma in the catalogue of which only ten were made in the studio. The penultimate version of those was made as long as thirty-five years ago, then, after a long gap, Cecilia Bartoli made a new recording between 2011 and 2013 which is really hors concours for reasons which I elaborate in my review below. The comparative scarcity of studio accounts is partially explained by the difficulty of casting the eponymous role, which epitomises bel canto style yet also lends itself to verismo interpretation, requiring a vocalist of supreme ability and versatility. Its challenges have thus been essayed by the greatest sopranos in history, beginning with Giuditta Pasta, who created the role of Norma in 1831. Subsequent famous exponents include Maria Malibran, Jenny Lind and Lilli Lehmann in the nineteenth century, through to Claudia Muzio, Rosa Ponselle and Gina Cigna in the first part of the twentieth. Maria Callas, then Joan Sutherland, dominated the role post-war; both performed it frequently and each made two bench-mark studio recordings. Callas in particular is to this day identified with Norma alongside Tosca; she performed it on stage over eighty times and her interpretation casts a long shadow over. Artists since, such as Gencer, Caballé, Scotto, Sills, and, more recently, Sondra Radvanovsky have had success with it, but none has really challenged the supremacy of Callas and Sutherland. Now that the age of expensive studio opera recordings is largely over in favour of recording live or concert performances, and given that there seemed to be little commercial or artistic rationale for producing another recording to challenge those already in the catalogue, the appearance of the new Bartoli recording was a surprise, but it sought to justify its existence via the claim that it authentically reinstates the integrity of Bellini’s original concept in matters such as voice categories, ornamentation and instrumentation.

  • AFCCC-POP8-2 Post Project Research Projects Collection Selected and Converted
    AFCCC-POP8-2 Post project research projects Collection Selected and converted. American Memory, Library of Congress. July 1954Outline for a booktentatively called FOLKSONG IN CALIFORNIA by SIDNEY ROBERTSON COWELL PREFACE:data on field recordings, when made, how come, and where deposited. Some mention of previous Calif. collectors, (Lummis and Gordon). Reference to Folkways albums if any. Lacunas in coverage listed here, too: Chinese, Syrian, etc.INTRODUCTORY SECTION of some sort would define folksong in the broadest possible sense, as song circulated in the oral tradition and discoverable in 1938-40. "California" folksong is therefore traditional song of any culture, orally transmitted and sung within the state. Folk music has not been circulated here long enough [?] for California life to have put a characteristic imprint on it, and English-speaking people have been here a relatively short time, so they contribute only a part of the state's wealth of traditional music. (California life has made alight or parodied changes in song texts, of course. And the Spanish guitar has affected a lot of the music, but that is a southwestern thing, not just Californian. This is n't intended to be a hard-and- fast Californian book, exactly; but I do have to have some kind of a framework!) A second general point is that since settlers do seem to come to the same kind of environment (work, climate, landscape) that they left wherever possible, a kind of ecological organization, to borrow a term, of this material seems to work out with surprisingly few left-overs. The mines were a special magnet for a time, strong enough to overcome this tendency, of coarse.
